I'm surprised to read your comments. Our Metairie location has very strong (and increasing) employee experience survey scores, so your experience clearly is not the norm. In terms of taking care of employees, here are a few things you may not be aware of... - in 2019, we put a comprehensive career framework in place for our Clinical Services teams (which includes techs). There is a clear path for growth as you build skills. When we implemented that framework, we did annual merit increases 4 months early (which costs extra money). We also invested an ADDITIONAL 150% of that merit amount in market adjustments. Which is totally about investing in YOU. - Our health benefits in 2019 cost, on averages, LESS than they did in 2017 with no changes in deductibles or co-pays. We also match $500 on an HSA to help our team members. MedVet pays ~70% of healthcare premiums for employees and their family members, which is not typical. - We implemented an above-market EAP program; you get six free counseling sessions for each "event"; we want to make sure our teams get the support they need. - We offer fully paid long-term disability, so our team members will be taken care of if something awful happens. We also offer a lot of other benefits like discount pet insurance, accident insurance, and supplemental life insurance (everyone gets $25K). Those are just a few of the things that MedVet does with the money we earn. We also invest in new hospitals, new equipment and new team members to support our growth. We also invest in new equipment and new hospitals. We are working hard to support you. Being a "higher up" myself, I can state without hesitation that we do not "Literally only care about making money." I care about our team members, especially when they are struggling.

Pros

Benefits, but you can find that working for any corporation (although they will deny being a ”corporation” tooth and nail)

Cons

At least in the LA hospitals the environment is TOXIC! It doesn’t matter which department you are in, someone is out to throw you under the bus... Work life balance? What’s that?

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and provide us with some feedback. It's great to hear that you were satisfied with your benefits as we work hard to offer an extensive package with many different options that can meet everyone’s needs. It is no secret that we are a growing organization that is veterinarian owned and operated and we are focused on living our mission, values, and purpose, day in and day out for our patients, clients, and team members. In fact, our CEO (Dr. Linda Lehmkuhl) has recently visited the Gulf Coast hospitals to discuss our vision and organizational growth with each and every employee. I'm not sure if you were able to attend that session but we got great feedback. Many of our competitors are owned by large companies and are NOT led medically. We're different. You get the upside of us being big enough to offer good benefits but still the upside of being an organization that is led by docs, owned by our team members, and not run by a big global company or private equity. A comment on culture. I reject your characterization of our culture as "toxic" and have data to back that up. While we are not perfect -- and never will be -- we work hard to be the best we can be and strive to be a great organization to work for. Our most recent survey shows that team members in your area are responding positively to our efforts as our engagement scores are trending up. We want to work with our employees to create a positive and collaborative work environment for everyone. If you had specific concerns, I hope you shared them with your CM, HR partner (whose main work location is in NOLA) or HD. We also are a culture that holds team members accountable. We can't deliver great medicine or have a strong culture if we allow folks who aren't taking accountability or who are acting in ways that run counter to our values to remain in our organization, even if they have long tenure. We know that having a work/life balance can be a tough task in a 24/7/365 business, but we are proud of our efforts to help everyone have lives outside of work. We give a very generous amount of PTO to our team members and our managers work to ensure all team members get their time off approved. Once again, thank you for your review and help building the New Orleans hospital over the past few years. We wish you the best.

Pros

Everyone consistently practices high quality, collaborative medicine. The benefits package is pretty inclusive, even offering pet bereavement leave. They're generally receptive to receiving feedback on how things can be done differently or better.

Cons

It's a growing organization, which means that there can be a lot of change (some struggle with frequent change), but it's usually for the best.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We have done a lot of the past few years to help improve our employee experience. And we are absolutely open the things we can do differently or better. Please make sure you participate in the upcoming survey, which launches on August 14.
